  1. [R2] Revolution Idle 5/5 · US Top 10 greatest games ever: I played before the developers added unity (unity spoilers ahead) and I have had an amazing experience, one small thing is that some times I feels like you hit a wall in progression like in the different zodiac element achievements and attack levels but it feel amazing when you find the build to break though that wall and start processing like crazy. Great game going fo

  7. [R34] Revolution Idle 1/5 · US Great game but: Great game until you unlock macros. I play games like these to kill time not to learn a coding skill. Keep it simple for the simple people.

  10. [R21] Revolution Idle 3/5 · GB New update: I’ve been playing this game quite a lot for the last few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it, in no way is this a negative take at the game because this is genuinely one of the best idle games I’ve ever played, but the new update has changed something. All my saves have been wiped. All of my data. And I can’t seem to find out how to get it back. I hope this isn’t just me but help would be

  16. [R1] Revolution Idle 1/5 · US The worst game I’ve played: Terrible game. Temu Plague Inc. 6 7 jokes everywhere. Their fat Discord mod furry/anime cult of “fans” mob you every time you dare to question their dear leaders game. I wish the developer nothing but the worst. It would be their karma for creating a lack luster iApp purchase farm.
  17. [R50] Revolution Idle 5/5 · US Dream Idle Game Brought To Life😃: I downloaded this game, thinking it would be the same as every other: A ad-heavy game. This game has no ads whatsoever, and no interrupted gameplay. Also, there are constantly things to do. Broke Infinity? Get generators and stars. Got an Eternity? Open your dream zoo next. Right now, I have 50 Sx EP. This is the dream idle game. If you’re looking for a fun idle g
  18. [R67] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 2/5 · US Could be fun, but…: This game has pretty good dynamics and is fun to play for about an hour before you’re stalled unless you want to watch ads. And this game has ad boosted play in nearly every aspect. I’m not kidding.

  20. [R79] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Ads required: You have to watch ads to claim quest rewards. Daily quest also requires watching ads. Ads everywhere.
  21. [R85] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Excessive ads: I’m down for watching ads for rewards, or being forced to watch ads periodically, but this game is far to excessive in its desperation for ad revenue
  22. [R63] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Fun but can’t listen to music: This game is fun but you can’t listen to music while playing it which makes it much less enjoyable. It will constantly pause Apple Music no matter what you do.

  24. [R118] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Fun but blocks music: Fun game but it blocks music / turns off music while playing which is an automatic one star.
  25. [R22] Revolution Idle 1/5 · US So much hope: I have over 3k hours recorded on the pc version. But the fact that you can’t get IP from your offline flux is unbelievably game breaking. I do not have the capability to leave my phone on and unattended for thousands of hours…
  26. [R35] Revolution Idle 5/5 · US Good game, one problem: I absolutely love this game. It’s in my top 10 of electronic games I’ve played ever. But the landscape rotation is a MESS. Please fix it. Also, now that I know that you can’t get IP from Offline Flux, you NEED to fix this situation. Like, seriously. Otherwise, extremely, extremely fun.
